Morie Analytics

Integrated Mooring Systems & Subsea Infrastructure Intelligence for Floating Offshore Wind and Marine Energy Converters

Enabling Scalable Floating Renewable Energy

Floating offshore wind and marine energy converters (wave and tidal systems) are expanding into deeper waters and more complex seabed environments worldwide.

As projects move from pilot arrays to commercial-scale deployment, engineering challenges become system-level problems:

  • Mooring line performance
  • Anchor capacity and installation
  • Dynamic cable integrity
  • Seabed variability
  • Installation logistics
  • Cost sensitivity across the full floating system

Morie Analytics provides an integrated, data-driven framework to optimize the entire mooring and subsea infrastructure workflow — reducing uncertainty, cost, and excessive design iteration.


The Engineering Gap

Current engineering workflows remain fragmented:

  • Hydrodynamic simulations are separated from geotechnical capacity evaluation
  • Mooring lines, anchors and dynamic cables are optimized independently
  • Extreme, cyclic, and fatigue limit states are treated in isolation
  • Soil variability is not fully integrated into system-level optimization
  • Installation methodology is disconnected from early design decisions
  • Cable routing rarely incorporates seabed-informed risk modeling

This fragmentation leads to:

  • Conservative and overdesigned systems
  • Repeated redesign loops between disciplines
  • Inefficient layout decisions
  • Increased steel mass and material usage
  • Installation risk exposure
  • Escalating CAPEX and schedule uncertainty

Floating renewable energy requires a unified, system-level engineering approach.


Our Solution

Morie Analytics delivers an integrated design and optimization framework covering the full mooring and subsea infrastructure system.

1. Lease Area & Seabed Intelligence

  • Lease area definition and spatial characterization
  • Bathymetry-informed system configuration
  • Soil variability mapping and CPT-informed profiling
  • Suitability screening for floating technologies

2. Integrated Mooring System Optimization

  • Coupled mooring line and anchor performance assessment
  • Comparative assessment across mooring layout configurations
  • Anchor capacity soil-structure evaluation and structural design
  • Depth- and load-informed layout optimization

3. Subsea Cable Analytics

  • Dynamic cable configuration assessment
  • Cable routing under bathymetric and seabed constraints
  • Coupled interaction between moorings and power cables
  • Early-stage risk and constraint screening

4. Installation & Constructability Modeling

  • Installation methodology definition per system type
  • Vessel compatibility screening
  • Sequence optimization
  • Constructability-driven design trade studies

5. Machine Learning & Scenario Acceleration

  • Surrogate models for rapid system-level screening
  • Multi-variable optimization across depth, soil, and load space
  • Portfolio-scale sensitivity analysis
  • Reduced iteration cycles during Pre-FEED and FEED

Our tools are built in object-oriented Python and designed to integrate with industry-standard simulation environments. They are trusted NREL research-backed methodologies.


What This Means for Clients

Working with Morie Analytics enables:

  • Holistic optimization of mooring lines, anchors, and cables
  • Reduced redesign loops between hydrodynamics and geotechnics
  • Improved confidence in early-stage configuration decisions
  • CAPEX-informed system comparison
  • Faster lease-area feasibility screening
  • Clear trade-off visibility across mooring technologies
  • Integration of seabed conditions into system-level design

We transform the mooring and subsea infrastructure system from a constraint-driven afterthought into a strategic optimization lever.
